For data centers looking to transition to a new backup software provider or retire legacy backup software, Index Engines can ingest the legacy catalog and manage it more cost effectively going forward. This eliminates the lock that backup software vendors have on clients due to the legacy data that is hidden away in their proprietary format. Index Engines unlocks this data and makes access and migration easy and cost effective.

Both ingestion and rebuild options enable detailed reporting to take place. Typical catalog reports are based on backup metadata and include: file extensions, servers and location, email databases, times (modified, accessed), owner, size, and more. These reports allow data to be classified by location, file count, and data size.
